Photo from Painted Desert Tribune archives / The original Navajo County Sheriff’s Posse was formed in 1957 with members including (front row, left to right) Jack Woods, Cephas Perkins, Roy Downing, Charlie Jennings, (middle row) Allen Hensley, Ben Pearson, Bobby Koury, Dutch Rupky, C.F. Lee, (back row) Vic Gerwitz, Harve Randall, Ted Gerwitz, Harve Smithson, Art Whiting and Grant Brinkerhoff. In 1958, the group came up with the idea of riding pony express-style to carry a letter of invitation to then Governor Paul Fannin to attend the Stampede Rodeo held in July at the Navajo County Fairgrounds.
